Supertest: CS 52 (Initial Stats)
A vehicle from an all-new Polish branch is to enter the Supertest soon: the CS 52, a Tier VIII medium tank.
The newcomer’s 105-mm gun deals an average of 320 damage points with a single shot. It is able to pierce 208 mm of enemy armor with a basic shell and 252 mm with a special APCR round. The Pole’s gun takes 10.5 seconds to load and 2.3 seconds to aim, and has an accuracy of 0.36.
The view range of the CS 52 is 380 m.
The armor is up to 190 mm thick at the front of the turret; the upper glacis plate of the hull has 80 mm of steel with an HP pool of 1,300 points. The maximum speed of the tank is 50 km/h, and its specific power is 17 hp per tonne.
Overall, the CS 52 is much like the T-44 and the T-54 which are very well known to the players. The Pole is a classic medium tank with a well-rounded gun, good dynamics and decent survivability. It is able to handle a broad range of tasks, joining in the attack of other medium tanks or helping the heavies to defend if necessary.

The Curious Case of the Missing USS Scorpion (SSN-589)
Fifty-two years ago, the USS Scorpion disappeared without a trace. The missing skipjack-class nuclear-powered submarine inspired several theories, books, songs, and even movie references. Was the crew involved in a skirmish with Soviet forces? Or was it just a tragic accident? The true reason for the submarine’s loss may never be known for sure.
What we do know is that the crew never made their scheduled arrival in Norfolk, Virginia on May 27, 1968. The method used to locate this sub is both eerie and fascinating and could be used to boost online gaming wins, to bet on sporting events, or to gain an advantage in stock and derivatives trading.
The Case of the Missing USS Scorpion
On February 15th, 1968, the sub and its crew of 99 US soldiers departed from Norfolk. Over the next few months, the crew participated in several exercises with the US Navy and NATO forces and collected information about Soviet naval units in the Meditteranean.
After its primary mission, the crew enjoyed exploring ports in Italy and Sicily before embarking for their homeward journey in May.
For several days, the sub’s journey seemed to be proceeding as normal. On May 22nd, Commander Francis A. Slattery radioed that the sub would arrive back in port at 1 pm on May 27th.
They never made it home.
When the arrival time came and went, family and officials knew something was amiss. Later reports suggested that officials knew something was likely wrong earlier when the crew failed to respond to routine messages, though that information was not shared with families of the missing soldiers.

WoT 3D Armor Viewer for iOS/Android
A reader emailed us, informing that there is an android knowledge base for WoT which allows you to view all tanks in game with their parameters, 3D armor and so on. Not long ago it was released for iOS (without 3D, but this will change soon) and the whole app works offline.
„Kampfgruppe Becken” 3D Style (for E 75 TS) Pictures
It can be bought on the RU server.
Non-historical, can only be applied to the E 75 TS. Priced at 4000 gold. Description:
“Kampfgruppe” Becken “- After reaching the front, the tank was incorporated into Becken Kampfgruppe, where it was modernized to survive the attacks of the enemy’s aviation. The vehicle was equipped with side shields at the top of the fuselage, improved anti-aircraft guns and enlarged fuel tanks, as its engine was a real fuel eater. Another significant improvement was the tactical bowl, in which the water was heated with heat from the exhaust pipe, which made it an integral part of the crew’s life.
